Collapsable List Problem

G

Guest

Can someone explain to me the use of Collapsable lists. I
have seen side bars on Webpages where lists expand when
you float the mouse pointer over them but in Frontpage
you have to click to open them and there is no indication
that you should do so in my opinion. Is there a way to
make them open when your mouse rolls over them? Is there
something I'm overlooking?

Thanks In Advance

I just spent two days figuring this out. First of all,
there is a way to make the pages expand using rollover.
However, I think it's more effective to use click. To use
rollover method, find <body onclick="dynOutline()">
near the top of your html page. swap out the "onclick"
with "onmouseover". Then Preview it in your browser. The
most effective way to go about this is by changing your
curser into a hand. Do this by finding <OL dynamicoutline
initcollapsed> near the top of your html page. you may
either have ol or ul depending on how your lists are set
up. Either way, change that to <OL dynamicoutline
initcollapsed style="curser:hand"> This way, people
know that you can click over certain text. It acts as if
you are hovering over a hyperlink. Hope that helps. I
also ran into a problem where the lists worked on my PC
but not on any other PC. When you create this list, Front
Page creates a file called "outline.js" and puts it on
your hard drive. Copy that file to your server and change
the html code to point to your server rather than your
hard drive. You should be golden!
